CANPY-FRAIV HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,570, dated November 1887.

Application tiled July 30, 1887. Serial No. 245,737. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern/.-

Beit known that I, CHARLEs T. SEGAR, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Canopy-Frame Holders; and I do declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which forma part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a' perspective viewofabed with my improved canopy-frame attached. Fig. 2 is a detail side View of rail Fig. 3 is a detail end view thereof. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on line x x, Fig. 2.

The invention relates to improvements in canopy-frame holders for iron bedsteads; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A designates a bedstead having the head and foot frames, B C, respectively. As the attachment to the head frame and foot frame are identical in construction, the description of one only is necessary. The head and foot frames are composed of the vertical side arms, D D,and transverse connecting-bars E F, which are parallel to each other.

G is the canopyframe, having the top portion, H, and the legs I. Each leg lies against the outer side of one of the side rails, D, ofthe head or foot frames, and has its lower end reduced in diameter below the circumferential shoulder i.

Jj are hook-loops, by means of which the legs I are held in place. Each hook-loop is k, runs from the hook to one edge of the side rail and bends outward across the same. The Wire of the hookloop then runs transversely across the side rails in bracket form, having a loop, L, centrally for the accommodation of the corresponding leg of the canopy-frame. The end of the hook-loop is bent inward to form an arm, Z, which engages the edge of the arm D opposite that which is engaged by the shank portion 7c. l

The loops of the hook-loops j are made smaller than those of the hook-loops J, as the formerv hook-loops engage the lower bars, E, and their loops support the reduced ends ot' the arms I, the shoulders t' resting on the small loops. The latter hook-loops engage the bars F, and their loops surround the legs above the ends, as shown.

The canopy-frame can be quickly attached and detached, as all that is necessary is to unhook the hook-loops.

It is of simple and strong construction, and cannot readily get out of order.

Having described my invention, I claims 1. The combination, with the bedstead having the head and foot frames provided with the side rails, D, and transverse bars EA and F, of the canopy-frame provided with the legs I, having ends reduced in diameter below the shoulders i', and the hook-loops J j, provided with the hooks K, loops L, and arms Z, substantially as specified.

2. Thehook-loop described, consisting of the hook portion K, the shank k, and the transverse bracket portion having the inwardlybentl terminal arm and the middle loop, L, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
